Catered or do it yourself?

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Nackington until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.

Preparing for the day
